题文

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wi advirs advid,  “Barbara, be enthusiastic（热情的）! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were!“Nothing great was ever done without enthusiasm,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste（浆糊） that helps you hang in there when the things get tough. It is the inner voice that tells you, “I can do it!” when others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is the childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing the cello（大提琴）. As the music flowed through his fingers, his shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As writer and poet Samuel Ullman once worte, “Years wrinkle(起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”Enthusiastic people also love what they do, not considering money or title or power. Patricia Mellratl, a retired director of the Missouri Rpertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, long ago, told me, ‘I never made any money until I stopped working for it.’”We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our ns finding pleasure in the sweet of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.小题1:What is the passage mainly talking about?A．Enthusiasm is more important than experience.B．Enthusiasm can give people more success and fameC．Enthusiastic people will never get oldD．Enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life.小题2:We can infer that enthusiasm is more important for a person especially when __________.A．he is in troubleB．he is getting oldC．he can do what he loveD．he has succeeded小题3:The author mentions Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ______.A．enthusiasm can make people feel youngB．music can arou people’s enthusiasmC．enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeedD．enthusiasm can keep people healthy小题4:How many examples are referred in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?A．ThreeB．FourC．FiveD．Six小题5:Which proverb(谚语) may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?A．A good beginning makes a good endingB．Don’t cry over the spoiled milkC．Love me, love my dogD．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy 题型：未知难度：其他题型

答案

 小题1:D小题2:A小题3:A小题4:C小题5:B

解析

本文是一篇议论文。作者在文章中以科学家、作家、音乐家等为例，说明了热情在人们成长和发展过程中的重要性。正如爱默生所言：“没有热情你就会一无所获。”长难句分析：We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our ns finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.该句是一个简单句。其中whole-heartedly意为“全心全意地”； with all our ns finding pleasure in the sweet smell …” 是with的复合结构，用作方式状语，该结构中的in 后面三个并列的词组都用作in的宾语。句意：我们需要全心全意地度过每一刻，用我们的感觉在后花园的香气中、一个6岁孩子普通的照片里及彩虹的美丽中寻找快乐。小题1:主旨大意题。根据第一段中的Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience”,结合文中提供的典型事例，说明只有热情才能使人享受生活和有所成就。小题2:细节推理题。联系第二段中的 “It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the things get tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, ‘I can do it !’”, 由此可以推知，当你陷入困难的时候，是你的热情在起作用。小题3:细节推断题。结合第三段中的 “We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is the childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age”, 再联系后面的对Pablo Casals 的叙述，说明热情能使人们感到年轻。小题4:细节理解题。归纳全文中提到的人物，主要有：Barbara McClintock, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Pablo Casals, Samuel Ullman 和Patricia Mellratl, 共5个人。小题5:推理判断题。最后一段的意思是，我们浪费不起为“本来可以发生的事情”而流的泪，因为事情已经发生，我们需要做我们肯能做的事情，把泪水变成汗水，和B 项一致，故B项为正确答案。
